Five years ago, Dean Winchester started to have dreams. First, they were fun. He and his brother were fighting supernatural creatures. Fun, right? But then, his dreams turned into nightmares. Nightmares so vivid and painful, Dean couldn't function anymore. After long persuasion, Dean agrees, very reluctantly, to visit a psychologist. He's not awaiting much from his sessions. And he's definitely not prepared for his life to turn upside down.
___________
Since the moment Castiel first meets Dean Winchester, he feels obliged to help him. But the more they meet the more Castiel's life gets complicated and soon he's stuck with a decision. Should he maintain his therapeutic integrity, or should he act on the feelings he knows are brewing deep inside him? If only he could make a sense of what's going on around him.

Niall nodded silently and gazed up at the 17-story building, holding his breath.
Way up there, a lone figure stood calmly. He seemed decided and in control, which was bizarre for he was standing on the very edge of the rooftop, the concrete floor some good 300 feet beneath him.

Summary
“Should we do this one-on-one? Focus on the opening for tonight? Jisung needs the least amount of work. Felix you help him. Hyunjin, you go with Chan. I’ll take Changbin.”
“Are you saying I need the most amount of work?” Changbin asked as Minho approached him. Irritation clouded his common sense which yelled 'these guys are helping you' and 'you don’t even know him.'
“Yes,” Minho replied plainly, and Changbin’s common sense hid behind his ego.
"You’re aware there’s no way I’m going to look as good as you do by this time next week?”
“Are you calling me good looking?” Minho asked. He smirked, but when Changbin did nothing but glare at him, he blinked hard and seemed to reset his focus. “You’re going to improve. Trust me. I’ll even make sure you’re the most improved. Hyung will compliment you the most.”
Changbin grumbled a quick “we'll see” before getting into his starting position.
____
Or, 3racha gets backup dancers for their upcoming tour, and Seo Changbin is paired with one enigmatic Lee Minho.

“Wangji?”
Wangji looks up.
Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?”
Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes.
“Great!”
Fuck.
Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

Where My Pain Lies, Let Me Breathe by DefierOfCynicalNarratives
Fandoms: 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS
05 Jan 2022
Tags
Summary
Jungkook didn’t know what he loved most about getting pierced by Jimin.
There was the simple fact that it allowed him to spend time with Jimin, just the two of them, in a situation that required intimacy, and engendered vulnerability. Both of them opened up to each other in these moments, saying things that felt like hushed confessions, their attention laser focused on one another.There was the physical touch aspect – the way Jimin handled him, gently but decisively, both clinical and tender. In Jimin’s hands, Jungkook felt completely and utterly safe.
And there was the pain, of course.
***
In which repressed baby gay Jungkook moves to the big city for film school, is adopted by the hyungs at a queer tattoo parlour, comes out, falls for the hot new piercer, gets his nipples pierced, and discovers he has one hell of a pain kink.

His phone starts ringing as he’s wringing the coffee out of his shirt in the tiny coffee shop bathroom. He groans, sliding his finger over the answer button as he pulls his shirt up. “June,” he says, as politely and patiently as he can muster, “Now’s really not a great time.”
A distinctly male voice that does not belong to his sister, says, “Er.” He drops his chin and looks down at the counter, where a blond haired beauty is staring up at him from a facetime call. In the top corner, Alex can see what the man sees; himself, partially shirtless, standing over the phone, his abs dripping with coffee.
Alex has no idea who the fuck this man is.

Or, the facetime call that changed Alex's life. -

Summary
You attract what you fear, they say. Bullshit, Jimin mentally contests. He has always attracted pretty boys and he has never once feared love.
That is, until Jeon Jungkook’s existence finds its way into his life, making sure it gets him regretting having laughed at old knowledge's face so carelessly.
_________He should have seen it coming. After all, he has always been weak where gorgeous features and mysterious eyes were concerned. And if putting himself in the line of fire meant a chance of grabbing with both hands what his heart always ached for, well, then maybe he was willing to pull the trigger himself.
or,
Jimin falls in love with Jungkook just to find out that he's in love with someone else.

“So, Henry, will you make me the happiest man on this goddamn airplane and drive through this storm with me tonight?”
Henry pinches his brow and releases a weary sigh. “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve agreed to all year.”
Hook, line, and fucking sinker.
“Don’t worry, Sweetheart,” Alex soothes. “It’s only March.”
_____
Alex and Henry have one thing in common: they desperately need to catch their flights in Chicago tomorrow. Splitting the cost of a rental car and driving through a deadly storm is the only logical solution. What could possibly go wrong?

Living with Henry is easy. Being friends with Henry? Even easier. Fucking stellar. He puts up with Alex’s antics. He seems to genuinely listen to everything Alex has to say. Whenever Henry smiles at him, it makes Alex feel warm inside. He’d even go as far as to say that, besides Nora, Henry is his best friend. So, naturally, Alex knows when something is wrong. Henry won’t say it, but Alex can see it.
Or: The one where Alex is a bisexual disaster who has abandonment issues and jumps to conclusions at the speed of light.
